Baked Salmon Sticks With Creamy Lemon-Dill Dip

Recipe makes: A total of about 14 sticks (4 servings of 3 sticks per serving)

Ingredients for salmon sticks:

1 cup panko bread crumbs

2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, finely chopped

2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

¼ teaspoon black pepper

2 large egg whites

1-pound skinless salmon fillet, cut into ½-inch strips

Ingredients for dip:

1/3 cup fat-free mayonnaise

¼ cup fat-free Greek yogurt

juice and zest of ½ lemon

1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped

Equipment and supplies:

Cooking spray

Baking sheet and cooking rack or parchment paper

Measuring cups and spoons

Whisk or mixer

2 large bowls

1 small bowl

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with a cooking rack and spray generously with cooking spray. If you don't have a cooking rack, line a baking sheet with parchment paper that has been sprayed with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk or beat egg whites until they are light and foamy. In another large bowl, stir together the panko breadcrumbs, parsley, Parmesan cheese, and pepper. Dip each salmon stick into the egg whites and then press into the crumb mixture, making sure the crumbs coat the salmon.
